THE GUY NEXT DOOR
The Guy Next Door – Episode 17
He’s so hot
Natasha’s Pov:
My ears couldn’t believe what I just heard.
Tears welled down my chubby cheeks as I opened my mouth to talk but I couldn’t say a word.
I closed my mouth again.
He looked at me with pleading eyes still kneeling in front of me.
I gulped nervously….
“No…. I can’t do this… No!” I shouted as I ran out of the hall
I felt so ashamed and I can’t face them right now
I ran as fast as I could straight to the garage.
I rushed into my car and drove off immediately.
I know you think am being selfish….
I know you all want to blame me or criticize me.
But believe me you won’t understand until you see yourself in my shoes.
Yes… I know I shouldn’t have embarrassed Jay that way but honestly I had no choice.
Men are full of deceit.
They made my life miserable and I don’t think am ready to face what I faced years back.
I was frustrated….
I was dejected….
I was heartbroken
I almost committed suicide cos of the shame.
I kept on driving and crying bitterly
All I want now is to cool off…..
This is too much for me.
I drove into the compound and parked my car at the garage.
I quickly got down from the car, picked up my handbag and stormed into the house.
I met Kayla at the sitting room.
She was actually watching TV.
I headed upstairs
“What’s up girl? How was the party? And you really come back early” She asked anxiously.
“Excuse me Kay!” I said not in the mood to chat with anybody.
I rushes upstairs.
She looked at me puzzled.
“What’s going on Natasha?” She asked but I paid her a deaf ear as I ran straight to my room.
I was even holding my heels on my hands.
I quickly slammed the door and locked it.
Tears continued rushing down my cheeks as I fell on the bed.
“Natasha! Natasha!! Open the door and talk to me” Kayla banged on the door.
“Please go away Kayla… I don’t want to talk to anyone, I just wanna be alone” I screamed as I hugged my pillow tightly.
Jayden’s Pov:
You don’t know how humiliated I feel right now.
How could she do this to me?
In public…. She disappointed me!
I feel so embarrassed….
Natasha has just made me an object of ridicule.
I can’t face the world right now.
I picked up the remaining bottle of whiskey and drank from the bottle again and again.
I was already dead drunk.
For the past six hours, I have been drinking.
I was already so drunk and the stench of alcohol reeked.
I sank my fingers into my hair as I drank from the bottle.
I already had not less than nine bottles of whiskey and brandy.
***
“Mr? Mr? Sir….!” Someone tapped me gently.
I already slept off with my head placed on the table.
I managed to raise my head but immediately, I threw up right on the waitress’s feet.
“Gross….!!” She screamed aloud.
I belched loudly not even giving a damn.
“What is it?” I asked rudely.
She looked very angry.
“It’s time to lock up the bar please leave!” She said
I burst into laughter as I stood up and staggered.
“And she did such a thing to me…she’s so unfair!” I said in tears.
The waitress looked at me puzzled.
I brought out my wallet and opened it.
I brought out some money and threw it at the waitress.
Unknown to me that my complimentary card fell off.
“That’s the money!” I said as I laughed again.
She picked the money up.
By then, I was already staggering out of the bar.
“Your balance sir…” She said as I waved at her.
“Keep it!” I belched noisily and walked away still staggering.
That was when the waitress saw the card.
She picked it up.
**
I opened my weak eyes sluggishly.
I rubbed my eyes tiredly.
“What was that for last night man?” That was Marvin’s voice.
I breathed heavily.
“How could she do that to me?” I sneered
“I told ya…. She’s nothing but a rude brat and nothing can change that!” Marvin said as I sighed loudly.
“She just threw me off balance” I said
“You just have to have to let that girl go and face your life squarely” Marvin said.
A WEEK LATER…..
Natasha and I have never seen eyeball to eyeball.
We continued avoiding each other and believe me, I was so furious with her.
And yes… I now want to face my life for good.
I pressed the door bell again and again.
The door swing open and Natasha came out.
She gulped nervously as she saw me.
“What do you want?” She asked sternly.
“Don’t worry am not here to bother you” I said as I brought out the bracelet from my pocket.
She quickly saw the bracelet and gasped.
“Look Jayden this cannot work, I don’t love you so please let me be! Just stay away from me” She said sharply.
I smiled broadly.
“Am not here to ask you to be my girlfriend, I just want to give you this bracelet cos it’s really yours” I said
She scratched her hair and opened her mouth to talk but someone interrupted her.
“Baby… You’re keeping me waiting!” A beautiful lady walked in and straight to me.
The lady kissed me and hugged me as I held her close to me.
Natasha looked at me puzzled.
“Uhmm… Baby this is my neighbor Natasha… Natasha this is my girlfriend Bianca” I said as Bianca smiled broadly and waved at Natasha.
Natasha looked very shocked.
“Your girlfriend?” She asked as I nodded with a smile.
Natasha quickly slammed the door in front of us…..
